    I think that’s why I liked it. I guess some like that BDDI tone as it is ‘that’ tone. I found I could integrate the M80 more easily into what I was doing and make it more prominent if I wanted it to be. If I wanted the BDDI to be less prominent I had to switch it off 😀 Just depends what ones sonic goal is but both good units and will last a lifetime.

    I was just chatting about this unit earlier. I preferred it over the sansamp BDDI as I found the MXR to suit what I was doing better. Paired with a jazz it sounded great with a hint of drive, had a good eq and paired well with my drive pedals at the time. I’m relying on a tone hammer as my go to eq unit but it’s a different voicing to the M80 with the TH a more vintage overall ‘flavour’.

    To be fair a man in an elaborate frock might also work with that name

    If you have some evidence of your performing and can provide a reference (if they ask for one) from a band member who can vouch that you gig you can get custom ear plugs for £40. My singer and I used each other as a reference and just had our impressions done last week. His were only £30 as he's a MU member. See the attached thread link.

    Schecter USA Monster Tone '78 MA reissue as found in the Michael Anthony custom model bass. I believe you can only buy these as a matched pair (it's a PJ set for nearly $290). This is kinda like the original 1/4lb'er with large diameter pole pieces, high out put and voiced to be more present in the lows and mids with a slight reduction in treble. The 1/4lb'er has a more scooped voicing and I personally prefer the MA 78 as its a bit more balanced in terms of the lows and mids but I don't like a scooped bass tone. For the full blurb and more pic's click on the link: Spacing: Bridge 57mm Universal Spacing / Neck Traditional Offset Spacing Wiring/Design: 2 Conductor Teflon Coated Wire Harness Baseplate: Engraved Brass Baseplate Pole Pieces: 8 @ .25" nickel plated carbon steel Magnet: Ceramic 8 Output at full power: Neck 12.6k ohms https://www.schecterguitars.com/pickups/bass-pickups/michael-anthony-78-signature/michael-anthony-78-signature-bass-pickups-detail I had this in my p bass and it has heaps of output. It can really drive the front end of an amp and I can see why MA uses these into a valve rig! Most of my gigging required a more subtle approach so I've gone back to a more vintage voiced pick up. The 78 MA worked really well in a three piece with heavy guitar (sits nicely with heavier, scooped guitar tones due to the nice solid lows and mids) and provides an upfront, strident tone. Ultimately the vintage voicing works better for me and my current gigs hence the sale. What do you get? The pick up comes boxed with a high quality, pre-wired, solder-less harness which features two CTS 250k pots, .068 orange drop cap and a Neutrik jack. The work on the harness is immaculate. The pick ups are fitted to a brass base plate and are exact recreations of the original '78 Monster tone pick up. There's some fancy engraving on the base plate too which is a nice touch and further evidence of Schecter's attention to detail. The Schecter Custom Shop know how to do it right and deserve their reputation! Ou The pick up does not come with any covers - I ditched the fixing screws as they were a bit longer than the ones I was already using, I just used my existing screws and coves. **Note I measured the output at 12.5k ohms**

    Fine choice! And if you're doing studio recordings whack some of the dbx on your acoustic instruments mic too. Solid unit!

    I heard demo’s of the Dan Lutz model when Carey did a video. I suggest folks check it out before speculating on what it’s issues are. It’s a fine sounding bass and doesn’t suffer phase issues etc and it’s super responsive -hand placement making a difference etc all the stuff folks extol the virtues of on bass forums. I’d take a DL VM5 if Carey wanted to give me one and happily use it as my only bass! It sounds I agree with the idea of if you want a MM get a MM, if you want a p get a p etc. I had a thunderbird pick up in my p bass and it sounded great but it’s not a p bass sound. I’ve put a (reverse) p back into that bass and it sounds more traditional. Actually I could put a Bigman with three way switch into my p bass down the line 🤔 Oh and check out the Bigman demo where the coils can be split with bridge coil, mm, neck coil. Interesting the tonal difference from the one pick up.

    I'm doing some home brewing today and while it's usually some reggae and other stuff from the Soul Jazz records Spotify page today has been all about the new Young Gun Silver Fox album, Daft Punk and Justice. Got a new mini portable speaker and have been giving it a workout. Enjoyable!

    I've just been learning some LSD for a dep gig - You Go Down Smooth - catchy tune!

    It was Alex Aguilar who designed the unit for Sadowsky so they're close but I do like the Aguilar unit. I paired mine with an EWS Bass Mid Control which worked really well.

    One of these used to be my little 'secret box of tone'... sssssh don't tell anyone!

    My point was more that this thread might seem a bit niche for Joe Public, all of us are going to be affected. I don't see it as being a positive impact just yet and while it might settle over the coming years it won't be without its victims, I suspect, irrespective of how one voted or their politics.

    As has been said the changes will impact many folks from individual musicians, small business owners right up to multi-national companies and corporations. Irrespective of how adroit the individual or organisation may be there will still be consequences to deal with be that bureaucratic, financial etc. I have no idea the impact on agriculture, healthcare, the service sector, the financial markets etc but I do think it will be felt across the nation as a whole and not just in the day to day discussion and debate we're all having at home, in the workplace and on this forum. Whether you see the glass as half full, half empty or about to fall off the table and crash into tiny little pieces we can all say with a degree of confidence that we will all feel the impact of this for years to come.

    "Smelly wine and sheep perfume" from Don't Stop Believing is the one that sticks for me!

    Keeping on topic which can be challenging at the best of times... In the time it took to get this far into this thread all of us could have found out who our local MP is, have fashioned a letter and stated our position in relation to the topics and industries raised over the ten or so pages. Changes are coming for musicians and the wider arts ..many of those changes are still being figured out and many, many more likely haven’t even been considered! People power, the power to mobilise, petition and make our elected representatives work for us is clearly the most useful way to elicit some positive change, certainly from grassroots groups, more established organisations and relative industry/professional bodies. The mistrust of the government following the last four years (and for those of us in Scotland or who took an active interest in the Independence discussion another few years on top of that) will know that the disinformation can be hard to discern from the truth and most figures are mailable at best! This thread has raised some good points and inevitably we don’t know what will happen. It sounds like for musicians (and many others) there will be some changes which will have a financial impact and while the debate is fun we’d all be better off writing to those elected officials, professional bodies etc to ask questions and raise issues be that within agriculture, the arts or your sector of work. People power indeed!

    Not too keen on the colour...

    My bad I thought you were talking about folks who routinely run a comp and limiter on the same board in their regular set up.
  25. krispn
    Still keen to know who the “many folk typically would have a comp at the start... limiter at the end” are you were talking about?
